Emergency Plumbers - FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the power at the power panel. Then, attempt to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to your house.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting, clear away any significant items from the area, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The main shutoff valve is generally positioned on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can protect your residence from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Crafers West after hours plumbers know that a clogged pipe can be a serious health risk that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we provide our emergency plumbing service.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a professional there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the kitchen sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our after hours Crafers West plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require available to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are concluded.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We endorse trying to clear minor obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom get the job done well, and can even cause more damage to the pipes.

Do not let a blocked pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water System Problems

It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Have a few dishes to deal with? It is seldom handy to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our plumbers a ring. We will be there promptly to diagnose the issue and get it fixed. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very rapidly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Crafers West emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not fixable, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, we can organise upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

The pipes in your house are a generally hidden but key part of everyday activities. Big and little, under the ground, in the walls or the roof or under the floor, they carry clean water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Most of the time you don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, belongings and health.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We are ready to take your call any time. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more damage.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older residence, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and split. In a recently built residence, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground pipes might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will identify the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipes if needed to look for other damage.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether defective?

We have been called to all sorts of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like a woodpecker at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial niggle, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just want a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have what you want, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we locate the style you need.

As well as serving Crafers West with emergency plumbing of all types, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or little.

Why is my tap dripping?

If the drip is not annoying enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively knot a length of twine around the tap spout long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
